We don't really have labels, but I guess there are minor groups:
1-the flirters(aka, cool kids):the pretty people who go around touching each other and giggling.
2-the band: the band kids who are always with each other.
3-the preachers:they really get on my nerves, pretending to be so religious.
4-the thugs: troublemakers
5-the athletes: they're usually part of the thugs too.
6-the sensitives: I really hate these guys.
7-other

Everyone carries labels of themselves, and their labels are generated from others who have given them throughout their lives. If anyone has been considered anything, one would try to live to those standards or break them to prove he is his own person. Labels, for the most part, are terrible. It can limit a person's potential, or it can destroy one's sense of selfhood and force one to prove himself as his own. In this sense, judgment is both positive and negative, regardless.

"You're very lazy."

"Oh, she's so smart."

"Do I want to prove I'm not lazy, or do I believe I am?" "Am I pressured to use my intelligence, or are my goals my own?"

We all want to be ourselves, but are we? "Am I my own, or am I merely living to (or against) others' standards and the labels I was given?" It's hard to find confidence in oneself when we face difficulties in identity and conformity. However, more than anything, it is important to ignore labels, and be comfortable with who we are. It seems so banal to say "Be yourself," but I don't believe you can claim to be anyone if you can't claim to be who you are, regardless of what others say.

i make a 24-7 effort to be myself, and i don't give about what others think about it.

i am sure that there are more people out there that are weird in their own way. if anyone asks you something along the lines of "why can't you be like everybody else" or tries to change you into a person other than who you are, you need to stick it to them in whatever way you choose that "Yeah, I'm here, I'm weird, GET USED TO IT!"

I'm weird, but it's not frowned upon, like I said I'm friends with everyone, even the gang bangers, because everyone knows that I am what I am, and if they don't like it, they don't need to have anything to do with me. I've also become very social in the past few days, making an effort to meet new people and do stuff with them, and I tell you it feels soo good

I am kind of labeled as a skater or a dumb kid. I am fine with the skater part even though I don't skate. THe dumb kid kind of sucks. The only reason people think I am a skater is because I shop at skater stores. I like there style of clothes.

i am in a biology class with three other people at my table. we sometimes do these puzzles and the first table that completes it gets extra credit points. my table hasn't failed to win yet. the other kids at different tables say that it is because they have me at the table.

sometimes it pays to be the smart kid in the class

_________________.....................................................want to trade?

my school doesn't have labels really. everyone's a mix. we judge by class(ex: band, sport,etc).the jocks are usually the gay wannabes, band is anyone, popular girls are the smart ones, and druggies are the emos and so on and so forth. I'm band but I'm basically everything else also.
